Cisco released their latest 9800 series phones over a year ago. Cisco markets the phone as, "use one device for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), Webex Calling, Broadworks, or other 3rd party cloud calling platforms. My Zoom rep has indicated that this phone might be certified in June 2025 and that it's on their roadmap but that no official ETA has been announced.

We are seriously considering switching from our legacy Avaya Aura PBX to Zoom Phone. We like the Poly Edge devices we've tested however the Cisco 8800 and newer 9800 series devices seem a little higher quality and more substantial.  I personally prefer the larger buttons. Has anyone heard anything about when these phones will be supported by Zoom and other cloud calling platforms? I've look at all the providers (Zoom, Nextiva, 8x8, RingCentral, Microsoft, etc.) and none of them support the 9800 series yet, even though it's been out a year.

Resolved! Call Routing based on incoming caller id

Hi

Is there anyway to route an incoming call to a different queue, user, anything other than default based on the caller ID number?

Resolved! Zoom Fax Not Dumping to Email

Voicemails that I receive automatically get forwarded as attachments to Email, why do received faxes not do the same, or am I missing a setting?

SIP Phones - Caller ID updates when connected?

We have Yealink T54W for our users that require a physical desk phone. I have added contacts to the Yealink's local directory and remote phonebook.

 

When a call is connected, I've noticed the caller ID name change from what I have set in the local directory or remote phonebook. Is Zoom performing a SIP update when a call is connected? I'm assuming whatever is happening causes at least the caller name to change. In the provided example, the caller name was being reverted to how my cell phone carrier displays my name. The avatar/logo from what I set in the local directory remained too, which seems odd, as I would think it would 1) drop the entire local directory contact that was matched or 2) not allow a local contact name to be changed if matched.

 

In my testing, it seems to occur mainly for inbound calls. Outbound calls seem to stick better.

Hi I'm in process of developing a tool to capture and record zoom phone calls as they happen. I don't want to use the recordings available after call ends as provided by zoom. I want to record them while they happen. Is there livestreaming phone data available like zoom provides for meetings?

Can you change inbound caller ID for call queue?

I've looked and found these old threads without resolution: https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Phone-System/Incoming-Caller-ID-with-Call-Queue/m-p/55346?search-action-id=69989549889&search-result-uid=55346 https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Phone-Sys...

We are new to Zoom phone and have prepped a call queue.  Working fine, but it displays as "INBOUND CALLER ID for CALL QUEUE."

 

Is there any way to reverse the order so that we can see what call queue is coming first?  When callers have longer names and we are looking at a iPhone or deskphone, we have to wait a couple beats to see what queue they are calling for.  Most of the time, especially for external callers, we want to answer the phone more quickly but need to know who they are calling (different company names) to offer the right greeting.  

 

Any way to solve?

I have users that connect to a server via Parallels for a remote desktop. They complain about call lag when calling another Zoom user with a desktop on the server. Would Zoom VDI be a solution for them? From what I understand there is a VDI Workplace installer like the Zoom client that goes on the server and a VDI plugin that is installed to the users local machine so all VOIP processing gets done on the local laptop?

One User with Two Extensions

We have one manager that works out of multiple branches. Is there a way to tie several extensions to one user, so they are able to answer calls at each branch from each local desk phone? We have multi-sites configured.

Resolved! Less intrusive phone call notification pop up

It would be really nice if we were able to choose where a phone call notification popped up on our screen. Currently, there is only one option: a giant white pop up in the middle of your screen while you're trying to do your job. I'm an administrative assistant and I watch several different phone lines, but I don't always have to answer them.

 

Jabber has a very unintrusive phone call notification pop up in the lower right hand corner of the screen right above the system tray. This option needs to be added for Zoom. 

 

Apologies for not knowing what all the official technology terms are, I am not a tech person.

Avaya Deskphone License Error when in Zoom

I’m having an issue when phone registered Avaya J179 phones with Zoom Phone. Everything seems to provision correctly in the admin portal and I’ve assigned the proper licenses, but every time the phone boots it displays: The phone is not licensed in zoom

 

This message persists until the “OK” button is pressed. After that, the phone behaves normally. It doesn't affect calls or features immediately after, but it's persistent and disruptive to users.

Questions:

  • Is there a known prerequisite or license type (e.g. Avaya license, Zoom “device license” vs Zoom Phone user license) that might be missing?

  • Has anyone resolved this “not licensed” boot message for Avaya desk phones?

Thanks in advance!
